Raiders, Rapids reign on links

Atlee and James River captured district golf tournament championships yesterday.

Led by medalist Collin Turner, Atlee compiled a four-player score of 314 at Belmont Golf Course and finished six shots clear of Hanover in the Capital District. Turner posted a 4-over 75. Belmont yielded just six scores under 80.

Atlee earned a berth in the Central Region tournament (Oct. 6-7) as did Hanover, which had tied for first during the regular season with Lee-Davis.

As he has done much of the season, Michael McLean paced regular-season champion James River to victory in the Dominion District tournament at Lake Chesdin Golf Club. The Rapids, one of the favorites for the region title, shot 303 and finished 11 strokes ahead of Midlothian. The Trojans earned the district's second spot in the region tourney.
